Yes, flaps are very useful for lowering your minimum airspeed to keep from smacking into the ground. <G> In any kind of a yo-yo I use them at the top to help ease my Hog around in a wing-over, (Read: big sideways mush/stall) or any other very low speed reversal. As long as you only use flaps for a short time, they work well. The one really usefull thing flaps can do I find is save my butt when I am about to plant the bird into the ground. Popping as much flap as I can will normally keep me from pancaking the bird after I've blown all my E in an evasion and can't maintain flight anymore.
